To start things off, if you're expecting a long, well-described review of the story, I would suggest find another review. I don't have the longest attention-span to type out things like these, but I just want to talk about this anime for a bit.

I used to be largely into anime. I watched a bunch of series and spent a good two years at one point in my life just watching and talking about anime. Unfortunately, I grew out of that stage at one point and haven't really taken the time to watch any anime in general. What made me come back? I watched a guy play osu! unranked and saw him play a lot of the opening songs to some anime that I saw in the past. As I'm typing this, I'm recovering from surgery that I had about six days ago, so I remembered this website, which I used to watch my anime on, and decided I would try to finish a thirteen episode series.

When I first saw the title of Myself; Yourself, I remember back in the days when I was browsing this website as this anime was periodically coming out with episodes. It looked interesting at first, but I wasn't entirely down to take a watch from it. Three years later, I decide to myself, "Why not?". The story was actually very interesting and something that I've wanted to watch for some time now. In a nutshell, without trying to spoil too much, the story takes place in a fictional town called Sakuranomori, located in Japan. Sana Hidaka, the main character if you will, at age 11, had to leave due to family based reasonings, which led to his friends to throw a farewell party for Sana, with each giving him a present that he would end up remembering, either mentally or physically.

He comes back five years later at the age of 16 to see that not much has changed with his hometown. As he wanders, he remembers certain areas where he had played with his friends as a child, festivities he went to, etc. As expected, he also reunites with his childhood friends, seeing that there are some things that have changed about them.

If you honestly care about in which order they came in on terms of Sana reuniting with his friends, he sees Nanaka first (wrote the song), but it seems that she is too shy to greet him formally. He then moves over to the apartment, in which he would stay at throughout the series, who then meets Aoi (baked the cake). Sana then goes to his first day of school and finds his homeroom class, 2-F, in which he finds Shu (fishing bait) and Shuri (gloves). You can say that Sana "meets" Nanaka in the classroom when she slaps him, but I'll always believe in him seeing her at the shrine as their "reunion".

I don't want to type for too much longer, but the main reason why I found this anime so good was the fact of how great and engaging the story is. When I took breaks from the series, I kept talking to myself on what was going to happen or why certain characters did the things they did on a certain event. For example,

Nonetheless, I've never gotten engaged like that in an anime before. It just feels like this story was done right and had some insane plot twists and events that I wouldn't have expected to happen. I really, really want to see a second season created, or at least some kind of spinoff to Myself; Yourself. The characters were very lively, the atmosphere was great, the story was beautiful, and it was just an all-around great anime. If you have time one day like I do to spend some time watching Myself; Yourself, by all means do it. You won't regret it.

Not sure why this gets 4 or 5 stars here. Most reviewers in net publications gave this a 3 or a 2. I'd say it is watchable if you are bored. It has its moments here and there but there are not many. If you are a 12-15 year old you might empathize with it a bit more than I did.... below is an evaluation of different aspects.

Visuals: Nothing to write home about. They look like characters ...

Visuals: Nothing to write home about. They look like characters out of a book on how to draw manga. They even stand out from the backdrop a bit too much almost like actors in front of a green screen. The background drawings while high quality look like something out of a computer game.

Music: Does not hurt the anime, but does not help it either. It's ok, but you don't really want to listen to it for more than 30 seconds.

Plot: Standard fare i.e. nothing to write home about either. You will not be wowed by the writers' creativity or even skill. While they may have passed the screen play writing class, they were not top performers (or maybe this was their first ever screen play).

Voice Acting: It's not going to move you to tears, but it's also not going to jar on your ears.

Characters: Cookie cutter with a dash of dark history in there so they can have some flavor. Unfortunately this does not make up for the utter lack of thought given to them.

I just finished watching this anime and i would say i have fallen in love! the story line isn't boring, it keeps you interested to the very end! i have no regrets on watching this and matter of fact i love this anime so much that i want to buy it. prepare to fall in love with this anime!

I didn't exactly type to talk about the review. I just wanted to say how this fantastic show resembles my life. I also left my friends and home town when i was eleven and i'm 14 right now. I'm hoping to back soon to my hometown.
REVIEW:...this show is fantastic, you will love the show. it has some surprising sad, happy, dramatic, hint of comedy, and will make you cry... Unless your heartless. ...

An excellent, well made series that could have done so much more. I enjoyed the very real and confronting issues surrounding each character as they develop. The ending is a bit rushed however and the story as a whole could have done another whole series before finishing what was progressing without getting stagnant. Well worth watching and disappointing that there won't be more.

This anime interested me at first, then I was bored, it was like watching fillers before a climax, then the climax came and it was really good and exciting. Even better I could relate to the characters.

This was a great story. It had a lot of twists and turns. Just the right amount of lightness to overshadow the dark areas that they touched upon. If there was anything that I could say derogatory about this anime, is that they leave us (the audience) guessing as to whether the twins had an incestuous relationship or not.

This was a great story. It had a lot of twists and turns. Just the right amount of lightness to overshadow the dark areas that they touched upon. If there was anything that I could say derogatory about this anime, is that they leave us (the audience) guessing as to whether the twins had an incestuous relationship or not. They show up in the last episode holding hands... secretly and quietly at the back of the concert. It does make you wonder if they really eloped when they ran away... strange part of the plot I thought. Anyway, regardless of that... the anime is bright and the story line was good. It was so fast-paced and easy to watch that it was over before I knew it. I highly recommend this story to anyone looking for a great romantic anime to sink their teeth into...

This anime had bad art compared to other animes made in the same year, it had bad sound and over TERRIBLE storyline, i dropped this is 3 episodes. Why don't we all go watch something good like The Pet Girl of Sakura Hall, and forget this crap every existed.
